Description
Maintainer: @Andy2244 (Andy Walsh andy.walsh44+github@gmail.com)
Environment: mipsel_24kc_musl (mt7620a) v21.02
Samba's executables are making it to squashfs unstripped. I'm running with -g3, so it was more noticeable:
debug_size file
772181 (0x000bc855) build_dir/target-mipsel_24kc_musl/root-ramips/usr/bin/pdbedit
868903 (0x000d4227) build_dir/target-mipsel_24kc_musl/root-ramips/usr/bin/smbpasswd
994409 (0x000f2c69) build_dir/target-mipsel_24kc_musl/root-ramips/usr/sbin/smbd
1037067 (0x000fd30b) build_dir/target-mipsel_24kc_musl/root-ramips/usr/bin/nmblookup
1366895 (0x0014db6f) build_dir/target-mipsel_24kc_musl/root-ramips/usr/sbin/nmbd

Research direction
Start with the OpenWrt package rules responsible for Samba and the listed target paths under build_dir/target-mipsel_24kc_musl/root-ramips. Reproduce the package build for the mipsel_24kc_musl target and inspect whether pdbedit, smbpasswd, smbd, nmblookup, and nmbd are stripped before entering squashfs. Done means the installed executables no longer contain the reported debug symbols.
